## Definition
A release is mostly a git tag of http://github.com/wallabag/wallabag, following [semantic versioning](http://semver.org).
The last release at the time of writing is 2.0.0-alpha.2, from the v2 branch.
### Steps to release
During this documentation, we assume the release is `release-2.0.0-beta.1`.
#### Files to edit
- `app/config/config.yml` (`wallabag_core.version`)
- `README.md` (`composer create-project` command)
- `docs/en/user/installation.rst` and its translations (`composer create-project` command)
#### Create release on GitHub
- Run these commands to create the tag:
```
git checkout v2
git pull origin v2
git checkout -b release-2.0.0-beta.1
SYMFONY_ENV=prod composer up --no-dev
git add --force composer.lock
git add README.md
git commit -m "Release wallabag 2.0.0-beta.1"
git push origin release-2.0.0-beta.1
```
- Create a new pull request with this title `DON'T MERGE Release wallabag 2.0.0-beta.1`. This pull request is used to launch builds on Travis-CI.
- Run these commands to create the package:
```
git clone git@github.com:wallabag/wallabag.git -b release-2.0.0-beta.1 release-2.0.0-beta.1
SYMFONY_ENV=prod composer up -d=release-2.0.0-beta.1 --no-dev
tar czf wallabag-release-2.0.0-beta.1.tar.gz --exclude="var/*" --exclude=".git" release-2.0.0-beta.1
```
- [Create the new release on GitHub](https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag/releases/new). You have to upload on this page the package.
- Delete the `release-2.0.0-beta.1` branch and close the pull request (**DO NOT MERGE IT**).
- Update the URL shortener (used on `wllbg.org` to generate links like `http://wllbg.org/latest-v2-package` or `http://wllbg.org/latest-v2`)
- Update [the downloads page](https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag.org/blob/master/content/pages/download.md) on the website (MD5 sum, release date)
- Drink a beer!
### `composer.lock`
A release tag must contain a `composer.lock` file. It sets which dependencies were available at the time a release was done,
making it easier to fix issues after the release. It also speeds up `composer install` on stable versions a LOT, by skipping the
dependencies resolution part.
Since `composer.lock` is ignored by default, either it must be removed from `.gitignore` _in the release branch_,
or it must be added using `git add --force composer.lock`.
### Target PHP version
`composer.lock` is _always_ built for a particular version, by default the one it is generated (with `composer update`).
If the PHP version used to generate the .lock isn't a widely available one (like PHP 7), a more common one should
be locally specified in `composer.lock`:
```json
"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "5.5.9",
"ext-something": "4.0"
}
}
```
